Danbury Ridge

Danbury Ridge was founded by two generations of the Bunker family: Michael and Heather and their daughters. The fields had long been scorned by local farmers but it was suggested that they many prove ideal for vines. The first vines were planted in 2014 with a focus on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay clones which could best exploit the unique mesoclimate. After just a few seasons they were producing grapes of a quality and ripeness previously unseen in the UK.

Essex

The Essex region in England is an emerging wine area gaining acclaim for its high-quality wines. Situated in the southeast of the country, Essex benefits from one of England's warmest and driest climates, which is ideal for viticulture. It is particularly renowned for its still wines, including elegant and aromatic Bacchus, often likened to Sauvignon Blanc for its vibrant acidity and fresh, fruity character. The area also excels in producing excellent sparkling wines using traditional methods, made from classic varieties like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. With its combination of favourable climate, diverse soils, and innovative winemaking techniques, Essex offers a promising and distinctive wine experience for enthusiasts seeking premium English wines.
